3. Background. Naval Acadei-ny Sailing is an integral part of the professional development of midshipmen at USNA. Its purpose is to make competent leaders and seamen of midshipmen while developing endurance, se lf-re liance, and the will to win in an environment similar to that in which they wi ll serve. It teaches teamwork under the controlled stress of close quarters in

USNAINST 1500.5 13 Dec 18

small boats, while contending with environmental forces at sea. Sailing provides an unparalleled opportunity for midshipmen to develop leadership and seamanship skills in a small unit laboratory setting. Every midshipman shall be afforded the maximum opportunity to participate in sailing activities throughout their four years at USNA. The Sailing Program is divided into five general areas: Basic Sail Training (BST), Offshore Sail Training Squadron (OSTS), competitive sailing, including the Varsity Offshore Sailing Team (VOST) and the Varsity Intercollegiate (IC) Sailing Team, and Extra-Curricular and Proficiency sailing.

4. Responsibilities and Organizational Relationships. The organizational chart pertaining to the Sailing Program is represented in enclosure (1).

a. Commandant of Midshipmen. Per reference (a), the Commandant of Midshipmen maintains overall responsibility for midshipman professional training. As such responsibility relates to the Sailing Program, the Commandant shall be responsible for:

(1) Integrating BST into the Plebe Summer curriculum.

(2) Providing excusal lists and/or movement orders for sail training evolutions. The Sailing Program Operations Officer coordinates with Commandant Operations for execution.

(3) Assigning newly graduated Ensigns and 2nd Lieutenants Temporary Additional Duty (TAD) to serve as instructors during Plebe Summer.

( 4) Providing sufficient training time, in the form of intramural or drill exemptions, during the academic year per reference (b ).

b. Deputy Commandant for Professional Development {PRODEV). PRODEV is responsible for the primary tasks of leadership development, quality instruction ( classroom, simulators, Yard Patrol Craft, and sailing), safe vessel operations at sea, vessel maintenance, midshipman training, and matching skill sets with Navy and Marine Corps needs.

c. Director, Naval Academy Sailing {DNAS). DNAS is responsible for the overall coordination and operation of the Sailing Programs at the Naval Academy. DNAS shall be responsible to PRODEV for:

( 1) Creating, updating, and administering professional proficiency sail training and competitive sailing.

(2) Adhering to boat control procedures as delineated per reference ( c ).

2


(3) Conducting routine operational maintenance of STC and support power craft and coordinating with Small Craft Repair Department (SCRD) at Waterfront Readiness Department for depot level maintenance.

(4) Coordinating with the Director of Athletics in the administration, to include logistics and purchasing, of the competitive sailing teams.

(5) Maintaining effective and cordial relations with sailing organizations and activities outside the Na val Academy. ·

d. Director of Athletics. The Director of Athletics provides support to the intercollegiate and offshore sailing teams in the form of awarding varsity letters and accounting for varsity sailing team expenses. Although sailing is not governed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the Naval Academy varsity sailing programs comply with all NCAA recruiting and

· accountability standards. The Director of Athletics assists the varsity sailing coaches with maintaining these standards. Per reference (p ), the Naval Academy Athletic Association (NAAA) provides annual funding to offset some sailing team expenses.

e. Vanderstar Chair. The Vanderstar Chair is named in honor of Mr. Cornelius Vanderstar. This position is funded by gift funds. The V anderstar Chair supplements the services of federal employees within the Sailing Department and reports directly to and advises DNAS concerning training issues specifically related to the safety of personnel and equipment.

5. Sailing Programs and Objectives

a. Basic Sail Training (BST}. BST is the cornerstone of the Sailing Program, as all leadership and seamanship training builds on skills taught during the Plebe Summer program. BST provides midshipmen with basic seamanship and teamwork training in a hands-on environment and conforms to skills provided per reference ( d). In conjunction with the Midshipmen Qualifications Standards and training program outlined per reference ( e ), the BST Coordinator works closely with U.S. Sailing certified instructors, Varsity Intercollegiate and Varsity Offshore Sailing Team coaches, and the newly commissioned TAD training detail to ensure proper training objectives are accomplished during Plebe Summer.

b. Offshore Sail Training Squadron (OSTS). OSTS training operations are conducted locally, offshore, and to ports along the east coast. The objective of OSTS is to provide midshipmen with small unit leadership and teamwork training as well as intermediate-level seamanship and navigation training in an offshore environment. The ultimate expression of this concept is the all-midshipmen crew, where qualified midshipmen lead their peers during an offshore passage. The Navy 44 MKII STC is the principal training platform used in OSTS. During the academic year, midshipmen involved in the Sailing Extra-Curricular Activity (ECA) can train toward eventual qualification as Midshipman Executive Officers and Skippers in the

3


OSTS summer program. The hours of on the water training received onboard the Navy 26 and Navy 44 STCs are a vital component of their qualification for leadership positions onboard the Navy 44 in the summer training blocks.

c. Varsity Intercollegiate Sailing (IC) Team. IC sailing is a two-season sport with three national championship regattas in both the spring and fall. IC sailing competes on a national and international scale in the venue of dinghy and small boat sailing. USNA is one of the premier host facilitie·s for IC sailing regattas. Training commences immediately after Reform of the Brigade and continues until Thanksgiving. The Match Race National Championship and Men's and Women's Single-handed National Championships are decided during the fall season. During the winter, team members work in the classroom on boat handling, tactics, and strategy. On-the-water training resumes in late winter and continues through the spring. The Team Race National Championship, Women's Dinghy National Championship, and Co-ed Dinghy National Championship regattas conclude the spring season.

d. Varsity Offshore Sailing Team {VOST). Offshore Sailing is a multi-season sport that extends through the summer. Offshore sailing competes on the national and international stage in ocean-capable sailboat regattas. The spring season includes daily practices and participation in local regattas. During the summer, midshipmen receive Professional Training Event {PTE) credit for offshore transits to, and participation in, a variety of inshore, coastal, and offshore regattas. The fall Championship season includes several USNA-hosted intercollegiate big boat regattas, culminating with the Kennedy Cup, the national intercollegiate championship for big boat racing. Every other year, USNA hosts the Lloyd Phoenix Trophy, the U.S. Sailing Big Boat National Championship.

e. Proficiency Sailing. Proficiency Sailing (PROSAIL) encourages the use of STC for all midshipmen as well as military and civilian personnel affiliated with the Sailing Program, as a means to improve leadership and seamanship skills and for enjoyment of the sport of sailing. Midshipmen are not required to be in a liberty status to sail iri local operating areas. All midshipmen, program staff, and volunteers with a Navy 26 qualification are authorized PROSAIL privileges per reference (f). DNAS must approve all requests for Navy 44 PROSAIL by "D" qualified personnel. Use of STC for PROSAIL must not interfere with previously scheduled training or varsity regattas. Participants must check in and out at the Vandergrift Cutter Shed and follow all procedures required per reference (f).

6. Sailing Support Entities

a. Naval Academy Sailing Squadron {NASS). NASS is a volunteer organization of active duty, retired military, and civilian volunteers that supports midshipman sail training in each of the programs. All retired military and non-government civilian volunteers shall complete DD FORM 2793 Volunteer Agreement for Appropriated Fund Activities and Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentalities.

4


b. Fales Committee. Established in 1966, the Fales Committee consists of several individuals with knowledge and experience in the sailing industry. Each individual provides advice directly to the Superintendent through DNAS concerning the seaworthiness and safety of the Naval Academy's STC, potential donors, and other issues concerning the Sailing Department.

c. Naval Academy Sailing Foundation <NASF). The Naval Academy Sailing Foundation is a 50l(c) (3) charitable, tax-exempt organization chartered in the State of Maryland. Its sole mission is to support the Sail Training program at USNA. NASF accomplishes this by facilitating donations of sailboats and other relevant vessels for use by midshipmen, coaches, staff, and volunteers. The policies and procedures for activating and terminating donated sailboat charter agreements can be found in reference- (g).

d. Vandergrift Cutter Shed Maintenance Division. Cutter Shed personnel are responsible for routine level maintenance, load-out of STC, and ordering and inventorying consumable equipment and gear. Additionally, they function as "Santee Basin Control" which controls the arrival and departure of all craft in Santee Basin. Maintenance requirements beyond their capability is deferred to SCRO.

e. SCRD at Waterfront Readiness Department SCRO serves as the primary custodian, and completes the intermediate to depot level upkeep and maintenance, of all STC and support power craft.

f. Training Department. The Training Department provides operating funds for execution of summer SAIL TRAMID activities and assigns midshipmen scheduled for participation in SAILTRAMID.

Ref: (a) MILPERSMAN 1200-040, Criteria for Craftmaster Insignia (b) NAVPERS 158391 Manual Navy Officer Manpower and Personnel Classifications (c) XXXX (Craft Standard Operating Procedures) (d) XXXX (AQD PQS)

Encl: (1) Certificate

1. CONGRATULATIONS! You have met all the requirements to be recognized as a Navy Sailing "X" qualification (AQD XXX) holder.

2. Enclosure ( 1) is sent to you to commemorate this milestone. In that regard, I hope you will not view your "X" qualification as a certification that your training is finished. We all view sailing as an art rather than a science, and I know of no skipper, regardless of how long they have been sailing, who considers their education complete.

3. I encourage staying involved in the Sailing Program here at the Naval Academy and work to achieve an even higher sailing qualification.

4. Once again, congratulations on this significant achievement!
